Preview: E13 LG1 pedal 2015 (generation2)

E13 has put out a 2.generation of its LG1 pedal. Take a look:

Huuge platform. Please land your aircraft here.. The inner body is alu, the outer is impact absorbing polycarbonate.

At 471grams these are definately not the lightest pedals. Nor the thinnest. There is a Ti-Axle version available, thats about a 100grams lighter.

Ahh the pins...Pins can make or break a pedal, and these pins are fahkin awesome! So one of the things E13 changed for the second generation of this pedal, is the size of the pins, they made them thinner take make them more grippy.

The spin control lets you control how much resisitance the spinning is giving, I like that as I like my pedals to pretty much stay in place when I lift my foot. The axle sits on self lubricating IGUS bushings.

Besides 4mm pins, I bought these massive 7mm pins as well. However, the grip is so good with the 4mm pins, that I havent had any incentive to try the longer pins...

So my initial thoughs are very positive! These pedals stick like glue to five-ten shoes, They feel sturdy and has a quality to them. They are big in both directions, and the pins are placed all the right places. Other than that there is not much to say, still testing them, and I expect to have a review ready soon.
